homeschoolmom99 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 dd will be starting 9th grade next year. We've always hs'd and always used Saxon math. She's completing Saxon Algebra II this year--and averaging about 95% correct. I'm thinking ahead to next year. Has anyone used Saxon geometry? What were your impressions? Does it really teach--or is it just a place holder (i.e., repeating info found in all other Saxon books). If you've used Saxon advanced mathematics--did you do it over 1 year or over 2? Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in CA Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Both my boys completed it in 1 year, in 10th grade. Then they took/will take Calculus at the CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinRTX Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 We have never used the geometry. My two oldest did Advanced Math in one year (10th), but my third has taken two years, but this was mainly due to the fact she is in anywhere from 2-4 choirs at a time and practice is such a large part of her life.

Thanks for the feedback from both of you. Which program, though, did your boys complete in 1 year? Advanced math or geometry? Thanks. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceLikeRainFallsDown Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I called Saxon about their Geometry course when it came out. I was informed they only created it to better go along with the public school system. Some wanted a separate Geometry class simply because that is how it is done in public school. I was told there was a lot of "bugs" in it and it was not recommended at this time. (That was by Saxon.) They told me that the Algebra I, Algebra II, and Adv. Math courses integrate all the Geometry that is need for a full Geometry credit. We are just finishing Algebra I this year and plan on keeping the regular course with Saxon and not doing the separate Geometry course.
